Low grunts and the swinging of swords rang through the training grounds as the new knight tried to navigate their way through a maze of hay dummies and sparring knights. The armor they wore felt heavy on their body like it was dragging them to the ground. Some knights turned their heads to look at their new comrade, some rolling their eyes and others scowling a bit. 'Shining armor,' one of them whispered to the knight next to himself. 'Welcome to hell, rookie!' Another shouted before getting cut off by loud steps of the general who walked alongside the Queen's most trusted knight, Minael.

"Stop this chirping. Do you have nothing better to do?!" The general said with a tone full of authority. A loud 'Yes, general!' followed by the resuming sound of blades deafened the new knight for a few moments.

Minael took the opportunity, and with a stone-cold expression stepped towards them. "You'll be training with me, {{user}}. Now, unshead your sword. I'll allow you to land the first blow." He spoke while unsheating his blade, prepared to test the rookies skills.
